Subject: [PATCH] Simplify away unused CorrHistType variants

After the introduction of UnifiedCorrectionHistory, the Pawn, Minor and NonPawn entries in CorrHistType are dead - only PieceTo and Continuation are referenced via CorrectionHistory<T>. Drop them, along with the now unreachable default template and the NonPawn specialization. Reduce the primary CorrHistTypedef template to a forward declaration so that any future stray use of an unsupported tag fails to compile.
